leukocyte
IPA: / luːkəsaɪt /White corpuscle of blood.
Blood cells that engulf and digest bacteria and fungi; an important part of the body's defense system; SYN. leucocyte, white blood cell, white cell, white blood corpuscle, white corpuscle.
A white blood cell. Leukocytes are part of the body's defenses and give immunity against disease. There are several different types. Some (phagocytes and macrophages) engulf invading microorganisms, others kill infected cells, while lymphocytes produce more specific immune responses. Human blood contains about 11,000 leukocytes to the cubic millimeterabout 1 to every 500 red cells.
Leukocyte numbers may be reduced (leukopenia) by starvation, pernicious anemia, and certain infections, such as typhoid and malaria. An increase in the numbers (leukocytosis) is a reaction to normal events such as digestion, exertion, and pregnancy, and to abnormal ones such as loss of blood, cancer, and most infections.
white blood cell
IPA: / ˈwaɪt ˈbləd ˈsel /Or leukocyte; One of a number of different cells that play a part in the body's defenses and give immunity against disease. Some (phagocytes and macrophages) engulf invading microorganisms, others kill infected cells, while lymphocytes produce more specific immune responses. White blood cells are colorless, with clear or granulated cytoplasm, and are capable of independent ameboid movement. They occur in the blood, lymph and elsewhere in the body's tissues.
Unlike mammalian red blood cells, they possess a nucleus. Human blood contains about 11,000 leukocytes to the cubic millimeter about one to every 500 red cells.
